Retail Inventory Transfers Overview

Action: none

The Inventory Transfer module is only available to users of the BBL ProfitSystem Multi-store option. Transfers are requests for specific inventory (retail or pick-up) to be moved from one store to another. This module provides for the management of these transfer requests.

Transfer requests can be created from the Ticket form (TICKET) via the sales transaction status, or from the Inventory Transfer Form (RETLTRAN).

A inventory transfer from the Ticket form requests a specific style's size\color\width item to be sent from any chain store to the requesting store for a customer's purchase. This action creates a Transfer Request that will be seen from the Outgoing Transfers form of the store being requested to send the inventory item(s).

When you create an inventory transfer from the Inventory Transfer form, you can specify that a specific item be transferred from one store to another, or that a specific pickup inventory item be transferred from one store to another.

Multiple transfer requests can grouped onto a Transfer Manifest. A manifest contains transfer requests for items being sent to the same store. A manifest allows all transfers in the manifest to be shipped or received as a group.

To view all the pending outgoing transfers requests for your current store, go to Main->Housekeeping->Inventory Transfers->Outgoing Transfers or to view an outgoing manifest with all the transfers that comprise it go to Main->Housekeeping->Inventory Transfers->Outgoing Manifests.

To view all the transfers that have been shipped and are coming to your current store, go to Main->Housekeeping->Inventory Transfers->Incoming Transfers or to view an incoming manifests with all the transfers that comprise it go to Main->Housekeeping->Inventory Transfers->Incoming Manifests.

To send the item FROM one store to another, edit the Transfer and enter the quantity shipped. To receive items at the TO store, edit the transfer and enter the quantity received.
